Litigating insurance claims is more than working toward a defense verdict. Part of winning is making my claims partners look good. Your success is my success. Working as a team to meet each and every goal in the claim – yours and mine – is where the real winning is. Winning at trial but reporting late or underestimating expenses is not much of a victory.I am an experienced and creative attorney with a proven history of success in defending personal injury litigation, general liability claims, UM/UIM, DWI defense in civil claims, construction defect, Louisiana worker's compensation and LHWCA claims, bad faith claims, and coverage issues. My practice brings me to all corners of Louisiana, from the top to the bottom of the boot. I am the author of the LOUISIANA CLAIMS PROFESSIONALS HANDBOOK and several articles about the claims handling process and insurance coverage. I am Martindale Hubbell AV Rated, awarded a Bests’ Client Recommended Insurance Attorneys listing, a member of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry's Legal Advisory Council, a Melvin Jones Fellow, and a recipient of the Frank Hara Memorial Award for Community Service. I have presented seminars on Insurance Coverage Options, Flood Insurance and Homeowner’s Insurance, Worker’s Compensation, Business Entities, Employment Issues, and Leadership Development. I believe in leadership through service to others. Helping where there is a need can be one of life’s great feelings. Pursuing that feeling has produced some of my greatest wins away from the courtroom. I am lucky to count myself among the few lawyers who truly love what they do. This isn’t a job for me. I want to win with everyone I work with. Look me up at www.SEKlaw.com or send me a DM here so we can begin working together.
